I find it interesting that Ticketmaster, a company that should be no stranger to the problem of ticket theft, specifically calls out on their website when you select to have your tickets delivered via US Mail:

Your tickets will be mailed to your billing address and delivered no later than 48 hours before the event in a plain unmarked white envelope.

Makes sense, right?   After you just dropped a couple hundred bucks on event tickets the last thing you want to happen is for them to go missing.

So much to my surprise, this is what Ticketmaster considers to be a “plain unmarked white envelope”:

Note the return address section closely:


Thanks for sending my tickets in this stealthy envelope, Ticketmaster.   I’m sure anyone interested in stealing tickets will never figure this one out!
